Allocation of natural resources.
(31 Aug., p. 819) argue that, because current pricing practices do not internalize environmental costs, some mechanism other than the market is needed to protect environmental values. They propose a system of environmental credits-natural resource units (NRU's)-to be allocated to individuals and industrial organizations. Although their system is ingenious, I offer the following objections. 1) T...
متن کاملGames with Exhaustible Resources
We study N -player continuous-time Cournot games in an oligopoly where firms choose production quantities. These are nonzero-sum differential games, whose value functions may be characterized by systems of nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations. When resources are in finite supply, such as oil, exhaustibility enters as boundary conditions for the PDEs. We analyze the problem w...
متن کاملHow to access and exploit natural resources sustainably: petroleum biotechnology
As we transition from fossil fuel reliance to a new energy future, innovative microbial biotechnologies may offer new routes to maximize recovery from conventional and unconventional energy assets; as well as contributing to reduced emission pathways and new technologies for carbon capture and utilization. Here we discuss the role of microbiology in petroleum biotechnologies in relation to addr...
متن کاملOn the Interplay between Intergenerational Transfers and Natural Resources
This paper studies an overlapping generations model with selfish agents, natural resources and human capital externalities. The initial result is to quantify the economic effects of intergenerational transfers by comparing a complete markets allocation with transfers to an allocation without transfers due to incomplete markets. The core contribution is then to show that a higher resource regene...
متن کاملClassical Theory and Exhaustible Natural Resources: Notes on the Current Debate

Concretamente, existen diversas opiniones sobre si es adecuado utilizar la noción de precios naturales o de producción clásicos para el análisis de los precios de estos recursos naturales (royalties) y también se han propuesto varios p...
